100 years since Zayed the First passed away
In Abu Dhabi for work yesterday, I noticed adverts commemorating the 100 years that have gone by since Zayed the First passed away.
There's a great website here that has some info on the man. The video's well worth watching.
At the very least, look at this picture here!
Interesting stuff. I would love to read some contemporary accounts from the local British political agents who would have worked with him.
